E85

Who is running here on E85 fuel?

I recently found a station where you can get E85 for the same prize as Euro95! Just 7km away from my living place.

So in a couple of weeks my D14 will be tuned for E85 and Euro98 (2 maps) with eCtune.

What is E85?

It is common in some countries like Brasil. in Portugal we dont use it but it is a good alternative to normal gasoline.

It's pretty risky to tune your ecu for 100++ ron gas unless you always use this type of gas (how much more does it cost?) and have a wideband mounted all the time for real time a/f ratio indications.
It would be great for drag races and rallys though

We planning to experiment with it.

I've a wideband (offcourse!) and a tunerview with al the information I need. The plans are to make 2 fuel maps (one for normal euro98 and the other for E85). E85 has the same prize as normal here (and not everywhere is e85 but it's upcoming) euro95 but it won't be that economical.

But you can make more power with e85 than euro98 with a good tune

Nice! We will be waiting for your numbers!
If you have an access to free or cheap dyno sessions, you might want to test performance oils as well.

That would be nice

Still thinking of going E85 as well myself. Though there should be more powerfull mixtures with lower ethanol levels... or so I heard. More like a 30/70% mix or vice versa.

it's like Red Bull
